Been having what I thought was a show for a couple of days, and today it was pink and definitely a show. Woke up feeling a bit weird, chilly and shaky, and crampy and nauseous.

Think I've been having contractions but not rally been timing them as wasn't sure, but going to start now. Am 40+2, have an appointment with MW at 2.30 but wondering if I will make it!

Ok, going to pop to the hospital as I want to know how things are progressing and my MW isn't in the surgery till 2pm. Just feeling a bit anxious and want to know what is going on. But I may be back so see you soon!
